Photos and Video from 11-16-07 Christmas Parade, Castle Show

[chrisaustx]

I spent the whole day at Disneyland, I took 325 photos, including the castle effects, Christmas Parade, Reindeer, Santa's Reindeer Roundup and lots of Christmas decorations.
I took video of the 5:30pm castle show, the music is a remake of Illuminaria, as you can tell from the audio, people loved this light show, the kids all are screaming around me.
the you-tube video is:

Believe in Holiday Magic was the same as 2006, no real changes.

Gotta admit, they must incorporate that snow sequence into the fireworks next year when they play "White Christmas". Also, the CM playing Giselle spot-on looks like Amy Adams!

Nice castle show. Does this play periodoically or just one time a night??

I believe 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30, they are playing the same show on small world with the projectors, after the projectors go off, it snows at small world as well.

Great pics. Looks like I got a new princess to chase after... for a pic of course .

Great video too. I loved being able to see the snow falling.

Next year, a light up Matterhorn!

Actually, it appears the shows will be at 5:30, 7:30, and the final one after White Christmas after the fireworks when the park closes at 10 or later. The parade is at 6:30, so they can't do the little show then. Not sure of the times when the park will close at 8 again after Thanksgiving..

There appeared to be some problems tonight which is why the shows at 5:30 and 7:30 were the same. They are supposed to different.

Pooh on those skeptics who thought it wouldn't be pure Disney magic. It just don't get much better than that.

I just don't get why it's only 2 or 3 times a night. It should be every 1/2 hour at least.

Because the show tells a story, its not just "LETS LIGHT UP THE CASTLE!!"

Love the photos!

That has got to be the best cast face character ever! She's perfect for that. Glad they have added Giselle to the pantheon.

I love your pic of the two headed reindeer. That's classic.

Great Pictures! Thanks for sharing.

The castle looks great. The park is going to be packed again this year just to see this.

The photos are really great, thanks so much. The video was nice too.

I thought it was funny that the last thing you hear on the video is a kid saying "Can we go now," I guess some kids are not impressed with the awesome lighting of the castle. I was.

I love the castle. I wish WDW's was like DL. during the day DL has snow on the turrets and then at night it sparkles like a fairyland. WDW just has the lights so during the day you see the blankets of lights but nothing else. giselle looks gorgeous. does she do meets and greets or is she just in the preparade? DL at christmastime is so much fun!!!
